Just popped in Pumpkinhead. Haven't watched it in awhile. I love the sht out of Pumpkinhead!

Yeah,i'll keep a look out,How is Viktor though?And does Michael fight any?





Yeah,pumkinhead is my FAVORITE monster movie.I love the hell out of that guy.

The Hobbit (Animated)

I found this to be really enjoyable in a strange sort of way. The dialogue is extremely corny and there are lots and lots of weird & somewhat creepy songs by elves & trolls & such. It almost seemed like I was watching a South Park version of The Hobbit sans the crude language because the corny dialogue just came across as utterly silly at times.

All in all, this was a pretty fun flick for anyone, but it'd be great for kids.

thats where you have to respect jackson's Lord of the Rings ..
that 'old english' is very difficult to take seriously at the best of times but the actors in LOTR pulled it off convincingly..

made it sound shakespherian

I just watched Mother's Day again because a friend hadn't seen it. Great trashy shit :D

The Godfather
The Godfather Part II
The Godfather Part III

I've watched The Good, The Bad and The Ugly trilogy, then Night, Dawn and Day, now The Godfather...guess Star Wars is next. Not sure why I got the urge to start watching trilogies straight through, but it's fun to do.

Twilight Zone: The Movie

Found it at one of the used video stores, hadn't seen it in ages, literally, and......you know, I'm sure that seeing this when I was young has something to do with it, but I really like this movie. It's definitely not perfect, but it has its own special feeling. And the Jerry Goldsmith score is great.

Dead End
I'd first like to point out that I am a bit tired with movies using this sort of twist ending. I won't say which movies it was used in before, because if you've seen any of them that will ruin the ending. It seems to be a trend lately, and I have just watched in the last few months a total of 5 films with this exact ending. Saying that - this was one of the better, if not the best, out of those 5.

I found myself, throughout this, running in to my mother's room and telling her scene-by-scene what was happening. I annoyed her a little bit by it, so I stopped after the death of Richard. I'll definatly watch this again with her, as she should get a kick out of it too.

After the dissapearence of Lin Shaye's character (who I am beginning to sort of love) - the movie did drop in excitement. She showed an amazing range of character in this film, and that's just a testament to how great an actress she really is. I also love her for sticking to these types of films - Can't wait to see her in SoaP!

The film sort of felt like Masters of Horror episode - but if it was, it would blow Cigarette Burns out of the water.

The soundtrack was something I also noticed. The eerie soundeffects, haunting music, and a few really good vocal tracks. It fits things well, and it heavily reminded me of the stuff you can hear in Scream. Loved the music in that movie, and it's sequel, too.

Also - may sound like I am dumb - I am glad for the well-explained ending. Unlike other movies like this, they sometimes make you wonder "So... then where did they get THIS from?" and you have to run it over and over again in your mind. But with this, as it was shown and revealed, things just clicked. The scene shortly after some early credits was also an ace scene. Definately glad they stuck that in there, and it makes you wonder...

Reccomended.

When A Stranger Calls [2006]

I actually didn't find it that bad. I thought everything before the dude revealed himself was pretty well-done. I'll give it a 3/5.

horrorobsessed 06-09-2006 09:55 PM

sky high......pretty good actually







just throwing this out there, but last week i finally saw When A Stranger Calls. just gotta say that the pase really sucked and i almost fell asleep big time.

Basket Case 2
The sequels sucked. Only the original is worth a peek.



I finished watching Matrix Reloaded and M:Revolutions last nite. For all the critical bashing it has got on the Net, M:Revolutions IMO is a fitting finale to the trilogy. It couldnt have been made any better. All questions are answered at the end. And we see Neo and Trinity die (ergo no chance of Matrix 4, or if it IS made, then it will be without those 2 characters).

I have a suggestion for all people who are over-critical of M:Revolutions. Think of the Matrix series as one movie, divided into 3 parts. You will forget to distinguish between all 3 of em. M:Reloaded might have the edge when it comes to kickass fight sequences, but the original & M:Revolutions both are masterpieces in themselves.

Its like eating a big cake. The first helping is the tastiest, cuz you taste and eat it for the very first time. You keep eating it, and the taste blends into your tongue and mouth, keeping you satisfied. And when its finished, you feel you could have had more.

I am now watching Hellsing.









Perfect style Anime-horror,and Alucard is a Bad ass.:cool:

Neark Dark....shit I realiced just after the first 20 minutes that I had see it a long time a go. The problem was that I couldn't remember 'cause the fuckin' dvd has the original tittle. In spanish the film was renamed "Los viajeros de la noche/Night travelers" very different form "Cerca de la oscuridad/Near Dark". Anyway a good b-horror film, just a little weak at the las 20 minutes (That stupid transfusion) but I like. 7/10

The Flayed One 06-10-2006 11:26 AM

House of Wax

You know, it wasn't that bad. I avoided buying this for so long because I thought it was going to be awful. It's definately one of the better remakes. Yeah, Paris Hilton can't act worth a fuck, but she had a decent death and didn't really take that much away from the flick. The last 15 minutes were awesome visually. I think too many people went into this determined to hate it. Give it a shot, it's fun. I'm not sorry I dropped $5 on it. 6.5/10

Cerberus

Wow. You know those films you get that go above and beyond your expectations? Well this one did; I expected it to be absolutely terrible, and it ended up being worse than I could imagine. Cerberus is about the ONLY cool thing about this movie. He doesn't look all that bad...until you see him move. There are movies that are so bad they're good. This isn't one of them. It's just bad. The only reason I'm giving it 1.5/10 is because one of the scenes had an effect done so poorly that I had to stop the movie I was laughing so hard.

Never could bring myself to watch that :)

Robocop was on TV last night..... fucking great I love this movie and could never get sick of it!

Scream and Scream Again:
Damn cool kept me guessing and I really dug it. I'd suggest watching it blind like I did to enjoy it.

and Basket Case 2 is great. A lot of people hate it but whatever. Its crazier than the original has better effects and the last 10 or so are total trash cinema genius! Gets better everytime I watch it.

The Hills Have Eyes (06);
Just like The Devil's Rejects was the best horror movie of 2005, The Hills Have Eyes will probably gain that same title for 2006. Both films are proof that the horror genre has not fell in to the shadows of death unlike some may think. There are those few who give the genre a glimmer of hope. Rob Zombie & Alexandre Aja - Easily two of my favourite directors, and if you've seen either of these films... you can tell why. I'm glad major studios are recognizing this, and providing a budget for both to work with. Speaking of Ron - I'm estactic for his reinivision of Halloween. I can see it being very pleasing.

I don't want to ruin this film for anyone, so I won't go to into detail with what goes on. I will say it features a great soundtrack - just like TDR - and damn, it's main theme, California Dreaming, sure gets stuck in your head. Along with the soundtrack goes the main directing and photography. Both literally mindblowing. This is one of the best looking horror movies to come out recently, or at anytime - really. I'm a fan of those thought-out, connecting, shiny bells-and-wistles type movies. And this is definately one of them.

Another thing I'd like to mention was how Alexandre has proven himself to be a "master" of tension. His first film was called High Tension, after all. It certain envokes an atmopshere, and it is geniuenly creepy and a definite edge-of-your-seat film. Oh, and Sam - this is a movie we can both agree is good. It is relentless in what it shows, and it's all so beautifully done. The characters are covered head to toe in blood, even those alive (*snicker*)... I can just see Alexandre at the casting meeting. Dumping the stars with blood, and licking his lips. They sure look good in all that blood, kind of wierd to say that... but's its true. In both his films, it ends up happening - and I'm a fan.

The characters of the "american hero" and Ruby shone in my eyes. Ruuuby <3. Such a likable mutant... and what she did, wow. Made the film... okay, it would still be rgeat without it. Made it better... more like it.

The ending I wasn't sure would work... as I didn't know there was a twist. I thought to myself "How will this end?". But since a sequel is in possible nogiations, I should have known a twist was present. And it's a good twist at that. Simple, but damned good.

Okay, enough cock-sucking on this film. It's good, five stars, I reccomend it, and don't even watch the original after this - it's bad already, but this just make sit look pathetic.

Can't see why some horror fans don't like this, or think it's just "okay". Alex, I'd marry you if you were gay and willing to move to Canada. :) And I dion't even know what you look like. Hehe.

Elvis_Christ 06-10-2006 08:05 PM

I'm looking foward to checking out the Hills Have eyes remake. I missed it at the movies tho so I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD
